Renal Pathology for Medical II Students

Lab 1.h Diabetic Glomerulosclerosis
This material comes from a long standing diabetic who first became nephrotic and then went into renal failure with subsequent dialysis. Things to note are 1) the sclerotic condition of most glomeruli leading to renal failure 2) arterial and arteriolar thickening 3) chronic interstitial inflammation.
